The street gleams under a cold rain, illuminated only by the erratic flicker of a dying neon sign above a shuttered diner. The air is thick with the scent of wet asphalt and corroded metal. From the mouth of a dark alley, a figure staggers into the dim light—tall, broad-shouldered, drenched in his own blood. His left eye is missing, concealed beneath a black patch. A savage cut carves from his temple down to his jawline, painting the side of his face a vivid red. He limps heavily, one hand clamped over a bleeding wound on his thigh, each breath a ragged, struggling pull. He sees you and halts, swaying on his feet. His single good eye—brown, hard as flint—locks onto you. He says nothing. He just watches, a man waiting in the quiet rain for you to choose what happens next.
